You greedy readers have drained all the blood from PEEK! The First, and my even greedier Kickstarter pledgers are now draining my precious time! So for the next four weeks, there will be one comic update every Monday. I hope you enjoy having my thick, creamy filling running down your throat, because that is what I will be pumping you full of!

During this low-stress drawing period I will be working on all my other comic projects, and I will have a lot of goodness for you when I pick up the pace again. Don’t give up now!

Also, I am now on Instagram and posting like a hung, horny teenager who just learned how to share his dick pix! (Yes, that IS how I think of my comics!) Follow me @death_ray_graphics for stuff you’ve never seen before!

Run, don’t walk (no wait: jog!) to your local newsstand, and pay the scrappy kid in the newsboy cap a shiny ha’penny to pick up the latest issue of Mad magazine, which has one of my cartoons right in the front section! Take a peek! (I have pixelated most of the punchline so that you have still have a reason to rush out and buy the magazine!

At last, the “Costume Drama” storyline is in the bag! I offer aÂ big “thank you” to all the people who have contacted me telling me to hurry up and get this done… I’m always pleased to know that I have anxious fans!

I plan to have the print edition of this story (which is the second chapter of Deep Fried: The Hero’s Journey) for sale as soon as possible. In the meantime, please send your “fan mail” formatted fan mail to me at comic(at)whatisdeepfried.com so that I don’t have a dang blank page in the book, consarnit! (BTW, fan mail is always more appreciated when it references Deep Fried and its storylines, not my work in general or my hygiene. Just, y’know, letting you know.)

A couple of weeks past the New Year is longer than I wanted to take completing this storyline, but its still pretty good considering my usual update habits. But now it is 2018! So much awaits us! A terrible Han Solo movie and an ugly and overlong election season will surely be the high points of the coming year, but I would also like to make 2018 the year I bring as many new products to market as possible!

First, however I intend to bring an old product back to market! For many months customer demand has been high for more print edition of Weapon Brown, which has been sold out for most of a year. I intend to satisfy this by running a new Kickstarter in February, and I hope I can get as many of you as possibleÂ to help out and spread the word when this launches on February 5th. Not only will this mean more copies of the Weapon Brown graphic novel for the world, but if all goes well, a whole NEW Weapon Brown product will come out of this: an epilogue to the main story that I am calling Weapon Brown: Aftershock. If you’ve always wanted one more hit off the Weapon Brown bong, your dreams may be about to come true!

There is also the next issue of PEEK! to get stoked for, as well as the conclusion to the first arc of Kobayashi Maru and what I hope will be its bright-but-dark future in comic shops. I will introduce all these ventures as they take shape.

Naturally, I will also beÂ bringing you new weekly comics! Next week begins the first of several installments of my revolting auto-bio strip “Jason’s Creamy Filling”. This will run for a bit while I rev the engine for my Kickstarter and get the next issue of Deep Fried formatted. See you in seven!

Alright gang, listen up! I have been ping-ponging for a while between the Kobayashi Maru and Deep Fried strips, but starting next week it’s Deep Fried straight through until I finish the “Costume Drama” story line, about six more installments. That way I can complete the second issue of The Hero’s Journey before the year is out, and conclude the first arc of Kobayashi Maru after that.

That’s how it’s going to be. And if you don’t like it, well, we can just take it outside.

April 29th, a day that will live in funfamy! That’s a neologism, folks! A mash-up of “fun” and “infamy”! For what better way to describe the cinematic perplexity that is 1974’s sci-fi classic Zardoz?

Buffalo’s North Park Theatre played host to me and my wily shenanigans this past Sarurday as I hosted Zardoz, (because hey, why not?) Family, friends, fans and a few anonymous victims turned up and provided a pretty decent crowd for this film. I donned an Egyptian klaft and did a little song and dance before the show, forever cementing my legacy as Buffalo’s premier showman! (Take a knee, Lance Diamond.)

Here are a few moments from the big night. Thanks again to everyone who came out!

Even the original run of Zardoz did not rate a poster this awesome!

Your host, in full 2293 garb!

Zardoz is everywhere!

Zardoz is everything!!

ALL HAIL ZARDOZ!!

And now, the moment you have all been waiting for: instructions from Zardoz on how to enjoy Zardoz. I created this cartoon (which ran before the movie) as a spoonful of sugar for the audience. It is rich in irony, and most satirical.

It is here, in my hands, at last! PEEK the First! May God forgive me even as he holds all of YOU accountable!!

PEEK turned out as awesome as I hoped. My firstÂ color comic is gorgeous indeed, with glossy pages and two wonderful wrappers! The stories, as well, will linger in your minds. And that, really, is what it is all about.

I’ll have this in my newly re-fabulized store next week. Of course, you can find it inÂ comic shops across these United States next week as well. Those that are left standing (you will understand!)
